Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: Bob Arum Won't Allow Lomachenko to Fight Me

[Ray*]

garcia's beef was never on the level as floyd with arum.

with floyd and arum, floyd took shots at arum every chance he gets.

with mikey, he talks about arum and TR only when he's being asked about it.

Am looking forward to Arum making this fight between Nomas and Garcia then.

again, why would arum say no if the money is right????

Because Arum history suggest he can hold a grudge, he is mega rich and probably couldn't care less about the fight making him a couple of more millions, just to get back at Garcia for leaving him/taking him to court.

Because of his history. Arum has prevent fights that would or might benefit his own fighters/company before. I don't think he would change his mentality now.

I know he made Nomas/Rigo but i dont think he wants anything to do with Garcia. Not because he doesn't think Nomas can win but just because he doesn't want to deal with Garcia period.

i sincerely hope that you are wrong so we can get the fight, we will just have to wait and see

Oh i DEFINITELY hope am wrong. I would love nothing more than for the fight to happen but i genuinely not getting my hopes up just because i don't want to be let down again.

“We’re not looking to unify the belts right now,” Mayweather said, We’re gonna be smart. We gonna move and let him make money, and let his money build. And when the time is right, we’re gonna take the fights that we need.”

You know Mikey wont need any extra motivation for that fight... Loma wont be fighting a 48 year old, 122 lb midget. He will be fighting a bigger, pissed off, undefeated Champion. That HATES his promotor....

I know you are using sarcasm but...

48 year old? Don't be ridiculous, he was "only" 37... and he had only 18 professional fights, he was practically untouched before this fight, never ever got into a war with no one, so in terms of wear and tear his real boxing age was similar to Loma's, less than 30 IMHO.

122 lb midget??? On fight night, Lomachenko weighed 137.4 pounds and Rigondeaux weighed 130 pounds. Which IS NOT even close to 122 pounds, and Rigo looked 100% in shape, very muscular. Same as the bigger Loma. Yes, Loma had a big advantage in size, but he was fighting no midget, because that midget was capable of KOing anyone else, at that weight, except Loma himself.

I am a fan of both Loma and Mikey, but I think being angry would, if anything, make Mikey lose more than win, specially vs. a guy so annoyingly mobile and unpredictable, that a real, real cool head and keeping calm, is very necessary to try and figure out how to decipher the puzzle. Mike has never ever confronted anyone even remotely close as difficult as Lomachenko.

Loma made it look easy and hindsight is always 20/20, but how many people said Rigo would KO Loma or at least put a beating on him? And now they are all quiet...

Didn't know what was offered but i know Arum wasn't too keen to make that fight. Nomas must have begged Arum for him to relent in the end.

$400K

Loma got $1.2 mill

I don't even understand this ****** comment from Mickey.
Didn't Loma vs Rigo happened despite what the sceptics were saying?
Bobfather wanted him to fight Gamboa, Mickey refused.
This clown is not making any sense.

[jjsmyth87]

JMM didn't leave Arum or take him to court or did he? Am speaking about fighters that Arum has a history with.

He made Loma Rigo, he made Crawford Gamboa when Gamboa ran to Sms promotions, he made Pacquiao DLH, Pac Mayweather, Cotto left and came back, when it comes to making money Arum will make a fight, why are you making excuses for Mikey Garcia
